Anne Rubin
Austin, TX

English tutor

I have an excellent education as I majored in English and minored in Social Work for my bachelor’s I received from the University of Texas at Austin. When I was in college, I made sure to take a wide variety of English courses to be able to interpret a wide variety of texts. I took two poetry courses, a world literature course that was particularly comprised of plays, and a global short story course. My upper division GPA upon graduation was a 3.75 which I am proud of. I learned many teaching skills during my college experience. I took “Literature studies for English Teachers”. I learned how to craft lesson plans and how to teach within each student’s zone of proximal development. I also learned about the common obstacles students may have to success, as well as strategies to combat those obstacles. In addition to that class, I have taken an adolescent development class in which I learned the stages of teen and young adult development. I learned what times in the life cycle types of learning are possible. I believe my Social Work background has helped me develop patience and very good listening skills. It might also be worth mentioning that I have a couple months tutoring experience with a friend’s nephew who ended up earning the highest grade in his class. So, I have experience tutoring a teen. Basic skills I possess are essay writing, research paper writing, text research/analyses, how to develop good study habits, help with grammar and sentence structure, and CRIT skills (close reading interpretive tools).
